Introduction to the treatment methods of roasting degree and grinding degree of Ethiopian coffee flavor description varieties

Coffee is Ethiopia's most important export cash crop and the main source of Ethiopia's foreign exchange earnings. Ethiopia's coffee exports account for about 3% of the world market, making it the eighth largest coffee exporter in the world. Coffee exports increased steadily from 58000 tons in 1990 to 110000 tons in 1995-1996 and remained at this level in the following years. The export volume exceeded 110000 tons from 2001 to 2002 and reached 127000 tons from 2002 to 2003. As the price of coffee on the international market has been declining for a decade, Ethiopia's foreign exchange earnings have been seriously affected. Before the sharp drop in coffee prices, coffee exports accounted for more than half of Ethiopia's foreign exchange earnings, but now they account for only about 35 per cent. But according to the International Coffee Organization, coffee prices rebounded in 2002, rising from 41 cents per pound in September 2001 to 52 cents per pound in 2002 and 59.7 cents per pound in 2003. The average price in March 2004 was 60.8 cents per pound, an increase of 50% over September 2001. This is excellent news for Ethiopia.

Ethiopian coffee beans grow in close to the natural environment, after years of planting under the same growth conditions, Ethiopian coffee beans have gradually adapted to the environment here. More than 60% of coffee beans are grown in forests or semi-forests.

Large-scale coffee-growing villages account for about 35% of the country's total coffee production. These coffee farms, which use a multi-tier coffee planting system, are carefully cared for. Coffee farmers do not use chemical fertilizers, but use fallen leaves and animal and plant debris to increase soil nutrition. In addition to coffee, farmers also frequently grow non-coffee crops. Even manor coffee (coffee produced by state-owned farms), which accounts for 5% of the country's total coffee production, shows the characteristics of forest coffee production.

The highest levels of Sidamo (Yirgacheffe, Sidamo) are level 2 and level 3 (G2, G3).

Most of the sun-processed coffee in eastern Ethiopia are grade 4 or grade 5 (G4, G5).

In many cases, level 4 coffee is marked as level 5 in order to reduce taxes. At present, the grading is not uniform and messy, because there are primary and secondary (Grand G2) and secondary (Grand G2) espresso coffee (Yirga Cheffe) processed by sun processing, but the highest grade of Harald (G4) is grade 4 (G4). Essex coffee is processed by tanning and washing. The flavor of coffee processed by different processing methods is very different. Generally speaking, the alcohol thickness and soil taste of washed Sidamo, Yirgacheffe and Limmu coffee are slightly lower. Sun-processed coffee tastes wilder. But Ethiopian coffee may taste different from batch to batch, which requires more cup tests in order to find really good coffee Ethiopia is the hometown of Arabica coffee, and it is in the forests of the Kaffa region that you can see wild Arabica coffee. In Ethiopian, coffee is called "Bun" or "Buna". Coffee beans (coffeebean) may be translated from "Kaffa Bun". Arabica coffee was discovered early in the Harald area, probably from the Kafa Forest.
